Five Ways to Overcome Dead End Thinkingనమూనా

Let God Open Your Eyes to Your Blind Spots

After a few days in Tanzania, I realized Tanzanian pastors effectively share the Good News because they remember where they came from and are familiar with the Muslim community they want to reach.

In the West, we view who we have become as better than those whom we want to reach. We do that in the church, and we do that in business.

We separate ourselves from the very people God calls us to serve because we think being holy means not associating with people who are different from us.

Our differences shouldn’t divide; instead, they should motivate us to find ways to unite. Biases keep us from sharing the message of reconciliation. We aren’t Christian by our title, but by the condition of our hearts.

When we are biased, our beliefs, attitudes, and ideas that aren’t true blind us to reality. When we live and work outside of reality, we miss an opportunity to reframe our assumptions and view things from different perspectives.

Who we were is a bridge back to people who don’t know Jesus. Our shared experiences enable us to share the Good News through our businesses, despite our differences.don’t

Let God open your eyes: Today, ask God to reveal the blind spots in your life and open your eyes to His perspective on how you think.
